CHARTERS 



On October thirty-first, seventeen hundred and fifty-four, 
in the twenty-eighth year of the reign of George the Second, 
a royal charter was granted by Letters Patent to the Govern- 
ors of the College of the Province of New York, in the City 
of New York, in America, creating them a Body Corporate to 
erect and maintain a college to be known as King's College 
for the Instruction and Education of Youth in the Learned 
Languages and Liberal Arts and Sciences ; with power to elect 
their successors, to hold property, to appoint a president, 
fellows, professors and tutors, and to confer degrees. 

This charter remained in force until May i, 1784, when 
the Legislature at its first session after the adoption of the 
Constitution of the State of New York, passed an act entitled 
" An Act for granting certain privileges to the college hereto- 
fore called King's College, for altering the name and charter 
thereof, and erecting an university within this state." 

By the terms of this act the franchises and property of the 
Governors of King's College were vested in a corporation 
styled the Regents of the University of the State of New 
York, who were thereby empowered to appoint a president 
and professors and to make ordinances for the government of 
King's College, the name of which was changed to Columbia 
College, and of such other colleges as they should found, 
composing the University. 

This act was repealed by " An Act to institute an university 
within this state and for other purposes therein mentioned," 
which was passed April 13, 1787, largely through the efforts 
of Alexander Hamilton, then a member of the Legislature, 
and a Regent of the University. By the terms of the repeal- 
ing act the original charter granted to the Governors of 
King's College was amended, ratified and confirmed, and the 
franchises and property formerly enjoyed by the Governors 
of King's College were vested in the Trustees of Columbia 
College in the City of New York, who were named in the act 
and declared and constituted trustees of Columbia College,

in perpetual succession, according to the true intent and mean- 
ing of said charter. 

On March 23, 1810, the original charter was further 
amended by the following act :

APPENDIX 



THE CARNEGIE FOUNDATION 
FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING 

Rules for the granting of retiring allowances 
IN force November i6, 1910 

Retiring allowances are granted in the colleges, universities, 
and technical schools on the accepted list of the Foundation on 
two distinct grounds: (i) to a teacher of specified service on 
reaching the age of sixty-five ; (2) to a teacher after twenty- 
five years of service as professor, or thirty years of service as 
professor and instructor, in case of physical disability. 

Rule I. Any person sixty-five years of age who has had 
not less than fifteen years of service as a professor, or not 
less than twenty-five years of service as instructor,* or as in- 
structor and professor, and who is at the time a professor or 
an instructor in an accepted institution, shall be entitled to 
an annual retiring allowance computed as follows : 

a. For an active pay of twelve hundred dollars or less, an 
allowance of one thousand dollars, provided no retiring allow- 
ance shall exceed ninety per cent, of the active pay. 

b. For an active pay greater than twelve hundred dollars 
the retiring allowance shall equal one thousand dollars, in- 
creased by fifty dollars for each one hundred dollars of active 
pay in excess of twelve hundred dollars. 

c. No retiring allowance shall exceed four thousand 
dollars. 

Computed by the formula : R = \- 400, where R = an- 
nual retiring allowance and A = active pay. 

Rule 2. Any person who has had twenty-five years of 
service a? professor, or thirty years of service as professor 

* An instructor is held to be a college or university teacher to whom is 
assigned independent teaching or responsibility for the conduct of labora- 
tory work, or of classes tinder the direction or supervision of a professor 
or head of a department. The term is not intended to include demon- 
strators, mechanicians, laboratory helpers, or other assistants who are not 
charged with the responsibility for the conduct of college classes, nor is it 
held to include those who give any considerable part of their time to gain- 
ful occupations other than college teaching. The Foundation reserves the 
right to decide in all doubtful cases what constitutes service as an instructor.

APPENDIX 65 

and instructor, and who is at the time either a professor or an 
instructor in an accepted institution, shall, in the case of dis- 
ability unfitting him for the work of a teacher as proved by 
medical examination, be entitled to a retiring allowance com- 
puted as follows : 

a. For an active pay of twelve hundred dollars or less, a 
retiring allowance of eight hundred dollars, provided that no 
retiring allowance shall exceed eighty per cent, of the active 
pay. 

b. P'or an active pay greater than twelve hundred dollars, 
the retiring allowance shall equal eight hundred dollars, in- 
creased by forty dollars for each one hundred dollars in excess 
of twelve hundred dollars. 

c. For each additional year of service above twenty-five 
for a professor, or above thirty for an instructor, the retiring 
allowance shall be increased by one per cent, of the active pay. 

d. No retiring allowance shall exceed four thousand 
dollars. p^ 

Computed by the formula: R= (b + 15)+ 320, where 

R = retiring allowance, A = active pay, and b = number of 
years of service. 

Rule 3. A widow who has been for ten years the wife of 
a teacher, who at the time of his death was in receipt of a re- 
tiring allowance, or who at the time of his death was eligible 
to a retiring allowance, or who had had twenty-five years of 
service as a professor, or thirty years of service as an instruc- 
tor and professor, shall receive as a pension one-half of the 
retiring allowance to which her husband was entitled under 
Rule I, or to which he would have been entitled under Rule 2 
in case of disability. 

Rule 4. In addition to the provision for retiring allowances 
made in Rules i and 2, the Foundation will cooperate with in- 
stitutions on the accepted list in the retirement of teachers 
who have had twenty-five years of service as professor, or 
thirty years of service as professor and instructor, but who, 
not being sixty-five years of age, are not eligible for retire- 
ment under Rule i, upon the following basis: 

If the institution grants to such a teacher a retiring allow- 
ance at its own cost, the Foundation will consider such teacher 
eligible to a retiring allowance on reaching the age of sixty- 
five under the rules in force at that time, and at the same rate 
which the institution has paid in the interval, provided the re- 
tiring allowance so paid shall not be less than that to which 
the teacher would be entitled if he retired under Rule 2 on the 
ground of disability, and provided further that under no cir- 
cumstances will the Foundation pay a higher retiring allow- 



66 APPENDIX 

ance to such a teacher than that to which he would have been 
entitled had he remained in service until the age of sixty-five 
and retired under Rule i. Should a teacher so retired by an 
institution die before reaching the age of sixty-five, his widow 
would be eligible under the rules to receive a pension from 
the Foundation equal to one-half of that which her husband 
had been receiving, provided that under no circumstances 
would such widow be entitled to a higher allowance than that 
which she would have received had her husband been retired 
under Rule i or Rule 2. 

Rule 5. In the preceding rules, years of leave of absence 
are to be counted as years of service, but not exceeding one 
year in seven. Librarians, registrars, recorders, and admin- 
istrative officers of long tenure whose salaries may be classed 
with those of professors and assistant professors are consid- 
ered eligible to the benefits of a retiring allowance. 

Rule 6. Teachers in the professional departments of uni- 
versities whose principal work is outside the profession of 
teaching are not included. 

Rule 7. The benefits of the Foundation shall not be avail- 
able to those whose active service ceased before April 16, 1905, 
the date of Mr. Carnegie's original letter to the trustees. 

Rule 8. In counting years of service toward a retiring 
allowance it is not necessary that the entire service shall have 
been given in institutions upon the accepted list of the Foun- 
dation, but only years of service in an institution of higher 
education will be accepted as an equivalent. 

Rule 9. In no case shall any allowance be paid to a teacher 
who continues to give the whole or a part of his time to the 
work of teaching as a member of the instructing staff of any 
institution. 

Rule 10. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement 
of Teaching retains the power to alter these rules in such 
manner as experience may indicate as desirable for the bene- 
fit of the whole body of teachers. 



Recognition of Individual Professors in Institutions 
not on the accepted list 

The Trustees realize that there are able and devoted teachers 
rendering admirable service to education in institutions which, 
owing to low entrance requirements, or for other reasons, are 
considered below the academic grade requisite to entitle them 
to a place on the accepted list of institutions. Individual pro- 
fessors of extraordinary merit or service in such institutions 
may be granted retiring allowances, but in such cases the 



APPENDIX 67 

Trustees will deal with the individual professor. Such allow- 
ances cannot in any instance be granted to professors in in- 
stitutions deemed to be under denominational control. Inas- 
much as the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of 
Teaching is a gift to higher education, service in a high school 
or academy will not entitle a teacher to a retiring allowance 
from this Foundation. 

These rules were approved at the annual meeting of the 
trustees of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of 
Teaching held on November 16, 1910.

Resolved, That in order to afford the Alumni direct and 
responsible representation upon this Board, six of the Trustees 
elected after January i, 1909, may be nominated in the man- 
ner and subject to the conditions hereinafter described. The 
trustees elected upon such nomination shall be styled " Alumni 
Trustees." As vacancies occur from time to time the Board

the Board shall direct that such nominations are to be invited, 
notice thereof shall be given and a nomination shall be made 
in the following manner : 

a. One nomination shall be asked for from a Nominating 
Committee of the Alumni, such committee to be composed of 
one or more representatives of each Association having twenty- 
five or more members who are alumni of any of the schools 
maintained by the Trustees, provided that such Associations 
are duly registered with and accepted by the Trustees. The 
representatives of every such Association upon the Nominating 
Committee shall be chosen in such manner as that Association 
shall determine. Every such Association shall be entitled to 
representation as follows : 

Those having not less than twenty-five nor more than fifty 
active members whose dues for the current year have been 
paid, one representative ; those having more than fifty and not 
more than one hundred such members, two representatives ; 
those having more than one hundred such members, three rep- 
resentatives. Every such Association shall be entitled to cast 
as many votes by its representative or representatives, present 
in person, as it has active members whose dues for the cur- 
rent year have been paid, provided such Association shall have 
paid its annual subscription to the Alumni Council, as provided 
in paragraph e of this Resolution. 

b. The Nominating Committee shall meet at the Univer- 
sity on notice of not less than sixty days, and the Secretary of 
the Alumni Council shall issue notices of such meeting when 
so requested by the Trustees, and he shall, as soon as prac- 
ticable after the meeting is held, report to the Clerk of the 
Trustees the nomination presented by the Committee. 



APPENDIX 69 

c. No person shall be eligible as a representative upon the 
Nominating Committee or for nomination as Alumni Trustee, 
who is officially connected with the University, or who is not 
an active member of a duly registered and accepted Alumni 
Association, or who has not held for at least ten years one of 
the degrees established by the Statutes of the University, 
conferred for work done in one of the schools maintained by 
the Trustees. 

d. Every such nomination presented to the Trustees by 
the Nominating Committee shall be accompanied by a letter 
stating that upon his election the person nominated will file 
with the Clerk of the Trustees his irrevocable letter of resig- 
nation as Alumni Trustee to take effect at the expiration of six 
years from the date of election, or at the end of such other 
term as the Trustees may prescribe under paragraph g of this 
Resolution, and that he will be ineligible for one year there- 
after for nomination as an Alumni Trustee, and the election 
of such nominee by the Trustees shall take effect only upon 
the filing of such letter of resignation.

nomination of Alumni Trustees, under the terms of this Reso- 
lution, such Association shall file with the Secretary of the 
Alumni Council a copy of its constitution, showing that it 
comes with the provisions of paragraph a of this Resolution, 
and a list of its active members, not less than twenty-five in 
number, who are regularly enrolled, together with a certifi- 
cate signed by the Secretary and Treasurer of such Associa- 
tion showing the number of active members in good standing, 
and that the Association has agreed to contribute to the Alumni 
Council and will contribute annually a sum to be fixed by the 
Council, not less than one dollar for each duly enrolled active 
member, such sums to be used to meet the necessary expenses 
of the Nominating Committee and for such purposes as the 
Alumni Council may determine. 

f. Each nomination presented to the Trustees, in accord- 
ance with the provisions of this Resolution, shall be accom- 
panied by a statement from the Alumni Council containing the 
names of the Associations which have duly qualified under 
the foregoing sections and have complied with the provisions 
thereof, and of the number of votes cast by each Association 
for the nominee. 

g. Until all of the six Alumni Trusteeships shall have 
been filled and the terms of the incumbents so arranged that 
one vacancy therein will regularly occur at the end of each 
academic year, the length of the terms of the Alumni Trustees 
shall be arranged by the Trustees so as to effect such regularity 
at the earliest practicable time. 



70 APPENDIX 

h. The term active member as used in this resolution 
shall be construed to include any member of a registered As- 
sociation who holds a degree conferred for work done in any 
of the schools maintained by the Trustees.
